S&W 9mm

I am thinking about getting a new firearm for when the weather gets warmer. I was considering the S&W CS9 or the 908. I would like double action only.

For those of you that own either of these two:

How do they compare in size to a G26 or G27? How do they compare in size to a Kahr MK or PM9? More so the thickness of the slide. If it is no thinner than a G27 than I might as well just carry the one that I own. I am looking for something that will be comfortable IWB at 4 o'clock. I had a Kahr MK9 and a G36 that fit that role but I got rid of both of them for different reasons.

What is the trigger pull on a DAO?

Can they handle +p+ rounds?

And ofcourse, are they reliable?

I would appreciate comments from anyone who could answer any of these questions.

I owned a CS9 for a while. Decent little shooter, but I found that the grip area was very thick. There's a large palm swell on the included grips, and no one made any slimmer after-market grips (this was a few years back, perhaps that's changed now).
